Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into this man's neck yesterday while he was on the ground handcuffed.

The man repeatedly said "I cant breathe."

Bystanders were also begging the officer to stop.

The man died.

The officers are now on paid leave.
The man was arrested for "forgery"

He can be heard calling for his mother.

He wasn't violent at any point in the 6 minute video.

But the cop wouldn't take his knee off of the man's neck until after he was unconscious.

It hurts to watch.
"Please. Please, #IcantBreathe," the man is heard begging cops. 

"My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Everything hurts."
'Bro, you've got him down at least let him breathe, man,' a male onlooker says.  

'He's not even resisting arrest ... he's human, bro.' 

'You're enjoying it. Look at you,' he adds. 

'You just really killed that man, bro,' the male onlooker says.
The man's name is #GeorgeFloyd.
